Abstract

Ultrasonography is currently used in veterinary medicine to examine the anatomy and physiology of internal organs and to establish normal standards for exotic animal species. Specifically, the kidneys may be evaluated and measured in length, width, and height. The kidneys in 33 oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus), including 20 males and 13 females, were opportunistically located, characterized, and measured by ultrasound using a 7.5-MHz linear transducer at two different zoologic facilities in São Paulo, Brazil. Renal volume was calculated from these linear measurements. The mean linear measurements and volume of the right and left kidneys were not significantly different.

摘要

超声检查目前在兽医学中用于检查内部器官的解剖结构和生理功能，并为外来动物物种建立正常标准。具体而言，可以对肾脏的长度、宽度和高度进行评估和测量。在巴西圣保罗的两个不同动物园设施中，使用7.5兆赫线性换能器，通过超声对33只虎猫（虎猫属）的肾脏进行了随机定位、特征描述和测量，其中包括20只雄性和13只雌性。根据这些线性测量结果计算肾脏体积。左右肾的平均线性测量值和体积没有显著差异。
